Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Topsham, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Topsham provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may 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 an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
