Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hempstead, TX.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Hempstead individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
