Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mexia, AL.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Mexia clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and probably given certain medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
