Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Pasadena clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility can ensure their safety.
There is not an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive care 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 substance abuse rehab program once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
