Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Kenduskeag, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kenduskeag provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
