Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Stephan, SD.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Stephan individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely given certain medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
