Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Elmore, MN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Elmore clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and probably given certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
