Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Winchester individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.
There is not an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
