Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Okeechobee, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Okeechobee clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
