Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Overbrook individuals can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can minimize health risks.
There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
