Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Cherokee individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.
There is not an exact process for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. 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 intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
