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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Shorewood clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could 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 specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
