Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Lakewood clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably given specific medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is complete.
