Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Livermore Falls, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Livermore Falls individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may require intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
