Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Round Pond, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Round Pond provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
