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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Westfield patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and probably given specific medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
