Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rockland, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Rockland clients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
