Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Vancouver patients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and probably administered certain medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can ensure their safety.
There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
