Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Philadelphia, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Philadelphia clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and possibly given certain prescription medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
