Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - White Lake, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in White Lake patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably administered specific medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
