Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Beverly, WA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Beverly clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. A person 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 patient may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
