Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Yarmouth, ME.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Yarmouth clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
