Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Catawba, VA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Catawba clients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
