Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bakersfield, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Bakersfield clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
