Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ikes Fork, WV.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Ikes Fork clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
