Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Schaller, IA.

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

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
