Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Drury, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Drury patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely given certain prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
