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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Palmer patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
