Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Scandinavia, WI.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Scandinavia individuals can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
