Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Springfield, TN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Springfield individuals can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
