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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Myrtle patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
