Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Desert, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Mount Desert individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
