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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Ellery patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and possibly given specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
