Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Albany, LA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Albany patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
