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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested 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 York patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
