Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - North Hatfield, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in North Hatfield patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may require intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
