Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - North Thetford, VT.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in North Thetford clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and probably administered certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
