Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Rumford, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Rumford individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
