Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Spruce Head, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Spruce Head offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
