Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Louisville patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can keep them safe.
There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
