Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Yale, VA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Yale clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
