Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Toronto individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person struggling with alcoholism for instance may need to be observed closely and probably administered certain medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.
There is not an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
