Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Gray, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Gray patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely given certain prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
