Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Isle St. George clients can be closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.
There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
