Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Crockett, KY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Crockett individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
