Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in San Diego clients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely given certain prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.
There is not an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering detox. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
