Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sidney, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sidney provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
