Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Heidrick, KY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Heidrick patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly given specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
