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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Saul clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
