Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Severna Park, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Severna Park individuals can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
