Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ballard, WV.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Ballard clients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
