Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Andover, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Andover clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
