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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Van Buren offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
