Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Dumont, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Dumont individuals can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery program once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
