Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mill River, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Mill River clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
