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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Seminole patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and probably given certain prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual 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 to have comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
