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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Norwood clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox 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 rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
