Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Riverside, NJ.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Riverside individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and possibly given specific medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
