Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Brooks, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brooks provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
