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

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Mundelein patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
