Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Waltham, MN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Waltham clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and possibly given certain prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
