Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Holy Cross, AK.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Holy Cross individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
