Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Falling Waters, WV.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Falling Waters clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
