Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Herndon, 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 Herndon clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
