Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Green Sulphur Springs, WV.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Green Sulphur Springs patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse recovery center once detoxification is complete.
