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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Troy patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual 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 patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
