Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Glenarm, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Glenarm patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar 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 detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
