Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Sherman, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sherman provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
