Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Berlin, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Berlin clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and probably administered certain prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
