Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rumford, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rumford provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
