Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lafayette, IN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Lafayette individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
