Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Fort Worth clients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely given certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
