Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Birchdale, MN.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Birchdale patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health 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 rehab center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
