Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ravenna, KY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Ravenna patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
