Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wilburn, AR.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Wilburn patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical 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 program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
