Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cutler, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Cutler clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and probably administered specific prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
