Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Portland, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Portland patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly given certain prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
