Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Cottonwood, AL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Cottonwood clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual 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 intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
