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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Perry individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
