Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hartland, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Hartland clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and likely given certain medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
