Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Redwood, VA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Redwood individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
