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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Union clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical 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 rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work 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 rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
