Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Shapleigh, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shapleigh offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
