Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Gonzales, TX.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Gonzales patients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and probably given specific prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may require intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
