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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Wells patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. an individual with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive supervision 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 individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
