Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Anchorage, AK.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Anchorage patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. an individual struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably administered certain prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
