Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Penwell, TX.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Penwell individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
