Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Vinalhaven, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Vinalhaven provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
