Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Unity, WI.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Unity individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely administered specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
