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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Burnham individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely administered specific medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
