Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Northport, WA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Northport patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
