Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Sedgwick, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sedgwick offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
