Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Medfield, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Medfield patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
