Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Oswego, 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 facility in Oswego patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
