Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pemaquid, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Pemaquid clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely given specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
