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

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Homer individuals are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and probably given certain prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
