Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Islesford, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Islesford offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
