Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Boston, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Boston patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably given certain medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
