Inpatient detoxification is recommended 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 Wyoming individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility would minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
