Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Tonkawa, OK.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Tonkawa individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
