Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Oakes, ND.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Oakes clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
