Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Orono, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Orono offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
