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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Petersburg clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
