Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Beverly Hills, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Beverly Hills patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and probably administered specific medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery program once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
