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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Summersville patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
