Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Wakarusa patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive treatment and medical 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 patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
