Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Columbia, MS.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Columbia patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and probably given specific medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
