Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - South Miami, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in South Miami patients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and probably given certain prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
