Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Berlin clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and possibly administered specific prescription drugs that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.
There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
