Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Whitehouse, OH.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Whitehouse patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
