Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - New York, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in New York individuals can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical 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 rehab facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
