Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Westwood, CA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Westwood clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
