Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Seal Cove, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Seal Cove provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (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 may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
