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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Walpole patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription medications that will 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 minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
