Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in San Mateo patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.
There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
