Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Occidental, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Occidental patients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and probably given specific medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
