Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Blue Earth, MN.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Blue Earth individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably administered specific prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
