Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lady Lake, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Lady Lake individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely given specific prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
