Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Emerald Isle, NC.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Emerald Isle clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
