drug detox
Drug Detox is most
effective when done in alcohol treatment or drug detox rehab centers under
the supervision of a doctor. Drug detox is the process of monitoring and
administering medical care to a patient experiencing drug detox or alcohol
treatment symptoms. These symptoms may vary depending on the individual.
We strive to make drug detox or alcohol treatment
as pleasant an experience as possible for our rehab centers clients. Drug
detox patients are brought down slowly and gently and are medically monitored
throughout the drug detox or alcohol treatment process. Daily needs of drug
detox patients are attended to and our rehab centers medical staff monitors
vital signs and symptoms. Drug detox placement or admission to drug detox
is determined during the assessment process and the drug detox protocol
specifically determined for each patient accordingly. Alcohol treatment
Medical staff administers medications and other medical/nursing care for
the patient who is in need of inpatient alcohol treatment or drug detox.
Our drug detox process is designed for the rehab centers patient who is
free from the acute withdrawal symptoms but may continue to need ongoing
medical monitoring under the care of the medical director, staff psychiatrist
and nurse. This includes medication protocol to counteract the uncomfortable
symptoms of the drug detox process.
Medications are generally prescribed at this time. There are several reasons
for this. First of all, this procedure without medical monitoring can
be dangerous. Daily use causes physical dependence. Persons that are physically
dependent must drink daily in order to ward off withdrawal symptoms. These
symptoms include seizure, vomiting, hallucinations, high blood pressure,
and anxiety. Although hallucinations are among the most disturbing of
the symptoms, it is in fact seizures that put people at the greatest risk
of injury or death.
Our objective during this stage is to provide the patient with a safe,
comfortable transition during the withdrawal period. Med Pro provides
compassionate and supportive care for patients using safe techniques aimed
at decreasing and alleviating the discomfort of withdrawal.
