Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Monroe, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Monroe clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably administered specific medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
