Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Manhattan Beach, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Manhattan Beach individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely given specific prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
