Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - West Paris, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Paris provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
