Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sebago, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sebago provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
