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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Southport individuals are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
