Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Guilford, MO.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Guilford clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate 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 recovery plan for recovering addicts.
