Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Edgewater, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Edgewater patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
