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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Damascus individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and probably administered certain prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
