Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Monmouth, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Monmouth individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
