Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Westhope, ND.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Westhope individuals can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
