Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Foster City, MI.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Foster City patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
