Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lowden, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Lowden individuals are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
