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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Oakfield individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
