Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Gilchrist, OR.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Gilchrist individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
