Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Algoma, MS.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Algoma individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits 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 a different patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab center once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
