Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bethlehem, IN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Bethlehem clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
