Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Santa Cruz patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely given certain medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.
There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
