Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Altamahaw, NC.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Altamahaw patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
