Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Huntington patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
