Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Waterville Valley, NH.

In an inpatient detoxification setting in Waterville Valley individuals can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. 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 people in recovery.
