Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pleasant View, TN.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Pleasant View individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
