Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Alexandria, MO.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Alexandria patients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
