Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Arlington, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Arlington clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and probably administered certain prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
