Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Richmond, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Richmond individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
