Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - La Honda, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in La Honda individuals can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably given certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
