Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Leeds, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leeds offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
