Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Somerset, MI.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Somerset individuals can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
