Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Madison, AR.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Madison individuals can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
