Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Evanston, WY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Evanston individuals are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have 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 rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
