Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ellington, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Ellington individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
