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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Greenbush offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
