Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Baker City clients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. an individual with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise 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 intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
