Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mattoon, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Mattoon individuals can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
