Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in St. Louis clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription drugs which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.
There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Most 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 people in recovery.
