Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Burlington, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Burlington clients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual 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 patient may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
