Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Mount Vernon, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Mount Vernon clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
