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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Skippers individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
