Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lake Arthur, LA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Lake Arthur clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
