Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Guilford, IN.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Guilford clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. an individual struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
