Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Kwethluk, AK.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Kwethluk patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
