Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Buffalo patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detoxification is finished.
