Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Searsmont, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Searsmont offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
