Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pemaquid, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pemaquid provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
