Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Frederick, SD.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Frederick patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate 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.
