Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Washington, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Washington individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely given certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
