Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. George Island, AK.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in St. George Island clients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably given certain medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, 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 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive supervision and 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 individuals who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
