Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Rumson, NJ.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Rumson patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably given certain prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
