Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ridgeway, WV.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Ridgeway clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
