Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lake Elmo, MN.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Lake Elmo clients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
