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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waterville provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
