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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Schwertner patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
