Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Carter, KY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Carter clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
