Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - West Chatham, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in West Chatham clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and possibly given specific prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
