Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Elizabeth, MN.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Elizabeth patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
