Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Shasta, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Shasta patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific prescription medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
