Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Waynesville, MO.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Waynesville individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly given specific medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
