Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Norridgewock, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norridgewock offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
