Once
a person has been admitted to the Evaluation Center, the
evaluation and treatment program begins and is conducted
over the next 48 to 72 hours.
First
24 hours - Medical Watch
Alcohol or drug used is being eliminated from the blood
stream and withdrawal is possible. Each person is monitored
very carefully and medication is given if ordered by a
physician.
Second
24 hours - Chemical Use Assessments
A licensed Chemical Dependency counselor or Rule 25 Assessor
will test, evaluate, interview, and refer each person.
Third
24 hours
This time is used when a patient is experiencing significant
withdrawal or legal/social service matters are pending.
Once
admitted to BCEC, a judge is the only person who can interrupt
this process and release a patient from detox.
