Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Fresh Meadows, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Fresh Meadows clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and possibly given certain prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
