Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Indianola, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Indianola patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
