Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cranberry Isles, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Cranberry Isles clients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
