Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Knox, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Knox patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
