Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Covington, LA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Covington individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
