Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Del City, OK.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Del City individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and probably administered certain medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process 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 discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
