Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Three Mile Bay, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Three Mile Bay clients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly given certain medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
