Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Potomac, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Potomac individuals can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly given specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive supervision 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 go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Most detoxification 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.
