Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lakewood, NM.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Lakewood individuals are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and probably given specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
