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

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Sunset individuals can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
