Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Nashotah, WI.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Nashotah patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
