Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lebanon, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lebanon offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
