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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Boalsburg clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
