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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Hazel clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and probably administered specific medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
