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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Perry provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
