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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Monmouth provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
