Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Holyrood patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would keep them safe.
There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
