Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Arlington, KY.

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 setting in Arlington patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detox, 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 released without much intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detox is finished.
