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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whiting provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
