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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rockland offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
