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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Morton patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
