Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Agoura Hills, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Agoura Hills patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need to have intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
