Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Menlo, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Menlo individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
