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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Union provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
