Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Newfield, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newfield provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
