Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Fort Montgomery, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Fort Montgomery individuals can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
