Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Clam Gulch, AK.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Clam Gulch clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
