Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Abita Springs, LA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Abita Springs individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely given specific prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits 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 discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
