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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Shelby individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and likely administered certain medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
