Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Carrollton, MO.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Carrollton patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
