Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Longwood, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Longwood patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may require intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
