Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - East Sandwich, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in East Sandwich patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely given specific medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
