Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mattawamkeag, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mattawamkeag offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
