Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Binghamton patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.
There is not an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
