Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mount Airy, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Mount Airy clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
