Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Benedict, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Benedict individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision 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 drug and alcohol treatment center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
