Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Dunstable, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Dunstable clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
