Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Pottsville individuals are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.
There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
