Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Little Deer Isle, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Little Deer Isle provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
