Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Oakfield clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.
There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
