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

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Auburn patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely given certain medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
