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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Oelrichs patients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
