Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alpena, SD.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Alpena clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and probably given specific medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
