Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Unity, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Unity offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
