Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Erwin, SD.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Erwin patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely given specific prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
