Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Princeton, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Princeton provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
