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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Frederick patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and likely given specific medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
