Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Ocean Park, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ocean Park offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in 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) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
