Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wood, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Wood patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery center once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
