Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Point Lay, AK.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Point Lay individuals can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to 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 a different patient may require intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
