Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Manhattan clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly given certain medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
