Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Oakland, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Oakland patients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
