Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cherokee, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Cherokee clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely administered specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
