Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Athol, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Athol individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
