Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Vermont, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Vermont clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and possibly given certain medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
