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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Wynnewood patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab center once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
