Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Carmichaels, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Carmichaels individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
