Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Winter Park, FL.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested 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 Winter Park patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may require intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
