Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Powell, TN.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Powell clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
