Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fortuna, ND.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Fortuna individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
