Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Triangle, VA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Triangle patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
