Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Athol Springs, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Athol Springs patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and probably given certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
