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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Charlestown clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
