Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lewis Run, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Lewis Run patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
