Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Fort Kent, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Fort Kent individuals can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely administered certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
