Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous.

Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive care and medical 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 attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detoxification is complete.
