Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Merced, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Merced individuals are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
