Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Charleston, MS.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Charleston patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work 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.
