Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Gustavus, AK.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Gustavus individuals can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely given certain medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery program once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
