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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Northeast Harbor provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual 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 utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
