Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Indian Island, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Indian Island offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
