Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lower Burrell, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Lower Burrell individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly given specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
