Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Stormville, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Stormville clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
