Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - North Chelmsford, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in North Chelmsford individuals are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
