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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Porter patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
