Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Encinitas patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and probably administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.
There is not an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment programs 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.
