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

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Lesage clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detoxification, 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 go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
