Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sunnyvale, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Sunnyvale clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
