Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Oak Ridge, TN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Oak Ridge individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely given specific medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. 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 patient may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
