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

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Westfield patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
