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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Essex patients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
