Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Preston, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Preston patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. an individual with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may require intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
