Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Collins, MS.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Collins individuals can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
