Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Island Falls, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Island Falls clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is complete. Most 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.
