Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Altadena patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.
There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is finished.
