Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Diana, TX.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Diana patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
