Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Machias, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Machias clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
