Procedures
The sedation used for rapid detox is safe and helps to enhance the patient’s comfort. Rather than having to insert a breathing tube that can cause lingering discomfort and painful swallowing, such as the type used with general anesthesia, the sedation uses a simple intravenous line that delivers a medication that relaxes the patient to the point of sleep. The recovery time from sedation is much faster than that for general anesthesia and does not involve related side effects, such as vomiting.
Patient Evaluations
In order to ensure that all patient needs are addressed, patients participate in testing prior to the procedure. These tests, such as checking for pregnancy and anemia, are performed in order to make sure that every aspect of the patient’s health is considered before detox begins. The results of the physical examination and testing are used to create the detailed patient treatment plan.
Patient Care
To continue ensuring patient safety, the patient moves to a residential aftercare facility for a few days after the rapid detox procedure. This helps to manage the side effects of withdrawal, such as mood changes. Further counseling and therapy are recommended after detox in order to improve results.
