Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Fulton, AL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Fulton patients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely given specific prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
