Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Superior, WI.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Superior clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
