Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Issaquah patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be observed closely and likely administered certain prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.
There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
