Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cologne, MN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Cologne individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
