Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Wood, SD.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Wood individuals are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly given specific prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may require intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
