Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Port Angeles, WA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Port Angeles individuals can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly given certain medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
