Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Racine individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility would ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
