Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lynch, KY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Lynch patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
