Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sharon Hill, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Sharon Hill patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
