Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lockport, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Lockport individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
