Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Wonder Lake, IL.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Wonder Lake patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
