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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Wickett individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably given certain medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
