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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Harvard individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
