Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Independence, VA.

While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Independence clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably administered specific prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detoxification is finished.
