Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Atlanta clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and possibly given specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
