Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Thornton, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Thornton patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance may need to be observed closely and probably administered specific medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. 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 detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
