Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Somerville, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Somerville clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly given certain medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical 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 attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
