Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - College Park, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in College Park individuals can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual 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 patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
