Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Augusta, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Augusta individuals can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
