Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - South Hamilton, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in South Hamilton patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances.

Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. A person who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is finished.
