Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Westtown, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Westtown patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. an individual struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse recovery program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
