Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - York Beach, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in York Beach provides medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
