Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Brighton, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Brighton clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and probably given specific medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
