Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Deer Harbor, WA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Deer Harbor patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
