Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sacramento, NM.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Sacramento clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly given specific prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient 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 should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
