Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Levant, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Levant provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues 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 due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
