Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Wilmette, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Wilmette clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably administered specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
