Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Jonestown, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Jonestown clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
