Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Dows, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Dows patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
