Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Dryden, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dryden offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
