Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Upper Falls, MD.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Upper Falls clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely given specific medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
