Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lexington, OK.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Lexington patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
