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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Cohoes clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision 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 need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
