Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ridgefield, NJ.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Ridgefield patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may require intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
