Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Los Altos, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Los Altos clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
