Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Griffith, IN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Griffith patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly given specific medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
