Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Oakfield, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oakfield provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
