Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sweetwater, OK.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Sweetwater patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
