Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Edgewood clients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different 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 a rehab program for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
