Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - San Lucas, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in San Lucas patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and likely given specific prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may require intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
