Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Petaluma patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and possibly given specific prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.
There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
