Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bridgeport, CT.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Bridgeport patients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely given specific medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
