Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Brownville Junction, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brownville Junction provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
