Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Northwood, OH.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Northwood individuals can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and probably administered specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
