Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hampstead, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Hampstead clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely given specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive 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 should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
