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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Williamsport patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and probably given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
