Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Wake, VA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Wake clients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
