Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ashland, OH.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Ashland patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
