Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Amberson, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Amberson individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably given specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
