Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Stafford, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Stafford clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
