Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Macon, NC.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Macon patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
