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

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Electra individuals can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and possibly given specific medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
