Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Carbonado, WA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Carbonado individuals are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
