Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Point Hope, AK.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Point Hope individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
