Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Aimwell, LA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Aimwell individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
