Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Elkton, VA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Elkton clients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
