Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Minot, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Minot provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
