Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Cornell patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly administered specific prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is finished.
