Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Kitty Hawk, NC.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Kitty Hawk clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and likely given certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person 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 attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
