Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fort Myers Beach, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Fort Myers Beach clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. an individual struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient 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 medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
