Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Malibu clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility can keep them safe.
There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
