Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Elmwood clients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered specific prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
