Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Columbia clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and likely given specific prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
