Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Gladstone, NM.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Gladstone clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
