Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Cuttyhunk, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Cuttyhunk clients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly given specific medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
