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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Overbrook clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and possibly given specific prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
