Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in St. Charles patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.
There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive treatment and 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 drug and alcohol treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
