Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Winthrop, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended 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 Winthrop individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly given certain medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center 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 recovering addicts.
