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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shirley Mills offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
