Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - East Bend, NC.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in East Bend patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
