Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Ray patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and possibly given specific medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.
There is not an exact process for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
