Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Windham, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Windham offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal 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 going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
