Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Chester, NH.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Chester individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
