Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Port Clyde, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Port Clyde patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
