Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Shirley, IN.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Shirley individuals can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely given certain prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
