Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Glendale Heights clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
