Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Norfolk, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Norfolk clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
