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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Limerick offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
