Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Shannon, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Shannon clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
