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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in SeaTac patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
