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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in South Walpole clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
