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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Decatur patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is finished. Most 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 people in recovery.
