Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Banner, MS.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Banner patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely administered certain medications which will 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 detox facility can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. 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 another person may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
