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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Marlinton patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
