Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Vernon Hills, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Vernon Hills patients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
