Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Burnside, IA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Burnside clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs 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.
