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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Lynnfield individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
