Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Temple, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Temple patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
