Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - East Springfield, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in East Springfield clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly given specific prescription medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
