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

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Hanover patients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and likely administered specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
