Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - West Alton, MO.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in West Alton clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
