Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Antelope, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Antelope clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
