Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ashland, OR.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Ashland clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
