Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hollywood, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Hollywood patients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
