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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Hazleton patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits 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 medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
