Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Merrill, OR.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Merrill clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
