Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Palm Coast, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Palm Coast patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
