Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ladera Ranch, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Ladera Ranch patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
