Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Old Orchard Beach, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Old Orchard Beach offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
