Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sherwood, AR.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Sherwood clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and probably administered specific prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
