Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Louisa patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and probably administered specific prescription medications which 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 an inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.
There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
