Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Helena, OK.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Helena patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly given certain prescription drugs that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
