Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Pacific Palisades, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Pacific Palisades individuals are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. 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 person may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
