Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Atwood, KS.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Atwood patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
