Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Aurora, MO.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Aurora patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detoxification is finished.
