Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Raleigh clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.
There is not an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
