Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hanford, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Hanford patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
