Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Abington, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Abington patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and possibly given specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
