Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Shapleigh, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Shapleigh patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
