Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Venice, LA.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Venice patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. an individual struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly given certain medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
