Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Britton, SD.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Britton clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and likely given specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
