Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Van Nuys clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific prescription drugs which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents 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 intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
