Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bristol, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Bristol patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely given certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
