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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Monmouth offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
