Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Ashland individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.
There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
