Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Plantation, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Plantation individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and probably administered certain prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
