Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mendon, MO.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Mendon individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly given certain prescription medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox 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 an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
