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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Raymond offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help 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 withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
