Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Stockton, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Stockton patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and probably administered certain medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who should to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
