Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Columbia, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Columbia individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive treatment 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 should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
