Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Union, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Union individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate 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.
