Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cleveland Heights, OH.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Cleveland Heights patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
