Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - St. Marys, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in St. Marys clients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
