Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Shelby, MT.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Shelby clients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
