Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Port Washington, OH.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Port Washington individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and probably given certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
