Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lucernemines, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Lucernemines clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be observed closely and likely given specific prescription medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
