Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ashland, NE.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Ashland patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and possibly given certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
