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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Skowhegan provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
