Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Jefferson, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Jefferson patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
