Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Palmer, TX.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Palmer individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
