Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - North Waterford, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Waterford provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
