Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Shannon, NC.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Shannon clients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably administered specific medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may require comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab 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 people in recovery.
