Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Goose Lake, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Goose Lake clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
