Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Oakland, MI.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Oakland patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and probably administered certain medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
