Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Boonsboro, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Boonsboro clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
