Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Marlborough, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Marlborough patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely given certain medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to 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 a different patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
