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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fryeburg provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
