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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Elco patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
