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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Brighton individuals can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and probably administered specific prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
