Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Syracuse patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.
There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need intensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
