What Is Inpatient Alcohol and Drug Detox?
Drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous. For example, individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) may experience severe symptoms. Complications may include hallucinations, seizures, blood pressure fluctuations, or extreme dehydration. In some cases, the effects of withdrawal can even be life-threatening. Inpatient alcohol and drug detox involves addiction specialists to monitor individuals during the detox process for a safer and more comfortable experience.
The Risks of Detoxing at Home
Drug or alcohol detox is the first step to addiction recovery. However, the detox process is safest and known to be most effective when done in a professional medical setting. Depending on the drug chosen or length of use, attempting to detox can result in a relapse or some cases, a fatal overdose.
Why Inpatient Treatment Is a Life-Saving Choice
Inpatient treatment is meant for individuals with severe substance use disorder (SUD) or a dual diagnosis. Individuals are typically required to stay overnight in a hospital or healthcare facility while receiving 24/7 monitoring or medical care for safe intervention.
Safe and Monitored Detox
Understanding that withdrawal from harmful substances can be life-threatening, medical detox services at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch address dangerous symptoms. Their medical detox center targets SUD, dual diagnosis, and underlying issues that are impacting their client’s ability to heal.
Medication Management to Help Ease Withdrawal Symptoms
Medical detox combines medical supervision, psychiatric support, psychological therapies, and prescription medication to manage drug withdrawal symptoms. Different medications may be used to help manage severe withdrawal symptoms from drugs or alcohol.
Develop a Comprehensive Assessment and Treatment Plan
There is no direct cause of addiction but several factors play a role in the development of SUD. However, individuals facing challenges with addiction may benefit from personalized care. Fortunately, our clients at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch receive comprehensive care to address any symptoms and side effects that may be impacting their physical or emotional well-being.
Signs You or a Loved One Needs Detox
SUD impacts all areas of a person’s life, and detox is the first step toward regaining control. Anyone struggling with alcohol or drug abuse may need medical detox to manage their condition successfully. Additional warning signs that may signal you or a loved one needs medical detox include:
- Irregular sleep patterns
- Extreme mood swings
- Profuse sweating
- Hallucination
- Problems concentrating

It can be tough to ward off drug or alcohol cravings and focus on sobriety. Developing a foundation of strategies can support long-term recovery. Here at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch, our clients learn effective coping mechanisms in treatment to properly manage their symptoms.
Healing Among Peers
Addiction recovery can be a lonely process as many individuals make great sacrifices to promote a more positive lifestyle. Plum Creek Recovery Ranch understands the significance of social support. Our drug and alcohol rehab programs include detoxification, individual psychotherapy, and peer support.
Family Involvement
Most people feel more motivated to overcome challenges in recovery if they have a strong support network to move them forward. Family support helps foster resilience and reduce the risk of relapse. Plum Creek Recovery Ranch uses skill development and support services to assist clients and their families in developing essential support networks during treatment and aftercare.
Why Continued Care Is Essential
Addiction recovery does not happen overnight. Although one is provided with helpful skills to manage their condition, unfortunate events can interfere with one’s ability to cope. It is common for those in recovery to experience various obstacles. Therefore, the healing stage is a lifelong process. We ensure clients in the Austin, Texas, area have access to aftercare services, including medication management and ongoing therapy, to support long-term sobriety. Aftercare programs reduce the risk of relapse and offer access to a thriving, sober community.
Specialized Resources for Indigenous Groups
At Plum Creek Recovery Ranch, our primary support groups are trauma-informed, gender-specific, and gender-responsive. This assures all residents are comfortable sharing information they might not feel safe sharing in a mixed-gender group. Plum Creek Recovery Ranch creates a safe environment for Indigenous groups to explore traumatic issues in depth to understand how they relate to your successful recovery.
