Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Chester, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Chester patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly given certain prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
