Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Half Moon Bay, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Half Moon Bay patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly given specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
