Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Harrison clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and likely administered specific medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
