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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Lamar individuals are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
