Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Laramie, WY.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Laramie patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription drugs that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
