Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Duck Hill, MS.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Duck Hill clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
