Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ridge, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Ridge patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely given specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
