Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mena, AR.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Mena individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
