Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Limestone, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Limestone offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 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 substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
