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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Onward clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
