Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Horton, KS.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Horton patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
