Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Reading, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Reading patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
