Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Atkinson, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Atkinson patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
