Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Little Deer Isle, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Little Deer Isle clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
