Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Plymouth, CT.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Plymouth patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
