Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in St. Francis patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.
There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
