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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Patterson individuals can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
