Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Globe, AZ.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Globe patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may require intensive oversight 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 clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
