Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Center, KY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Center individuals can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
