Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Dalton, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Dalton patients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
