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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Ottsville clients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility can 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. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
