Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Old Saybrook, CT.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Old Saybrook individuals can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
