Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Stoneham, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Stoneham clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
