Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Salem, NH.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Salem patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
