Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hercules, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Hercules clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
