Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Windsor clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab program once detox is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
