Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Dougherty, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Dougherty individuals can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
