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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Verplanck patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may require intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
