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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Marthaville individuals can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and possibly given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person 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 comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
