Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Weston, OH.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Weston patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
