Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Owatonna, MN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Owatonna individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. an individual with alcoholism for instance may need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
