Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - New Liberty, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in New Liberty individuals can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
