Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Miami Beach, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Miami Beach clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
