Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Pittsburg, KY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Pittsburg patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
