Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Orleans, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Orleans patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely given specific medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
