Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wheeling, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Wheeling patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual struggling with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
