Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Parsonsfield, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Parsonsfield offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
