Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Kilmichael, MS.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Kilmichael patients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
