Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Astoria, 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 Astoria patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and probably administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
