Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Tioga, LA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Tioga patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and probably administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Many 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 recovery plan for recovering addicts.
