Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Westborough, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Westborough individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
