Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - East Palatka, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in East Palatka individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification 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 recovery plan for people in recovery.
