Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Altamont, TN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Altamont clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely administered certain medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
