Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Skelton, WV.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Skelton patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely given certain medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
