Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - East Vassalboro, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in East Vassalboro clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and probably given specific medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
