Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Northwood, NH.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Northwood clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance may need to be observed closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
