Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Helena, MT.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Helena patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual 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 intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
