Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Portland, TN.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Portland clients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
