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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Castine patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
