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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Limington provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
