Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Marietta, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Marietta clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and probably given certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
