Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Mount Carmel, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Mount Carmel patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
