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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Kaiser patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely administered certain medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities 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.
