Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Martins Ferry, OH.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Martins Ferry patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and probably given certain prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
