Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Madison, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Madison offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
