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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Fulton individuals are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
