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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Fillmore individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
