Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Spokane patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.
There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
