Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Kingsport clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.
There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
