Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Thornton, WV.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Thornton patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities 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.
