Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Thornhill, KY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Thornhill patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
