Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Beals, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Beals patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
