Inpatient detoxification is recommended 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 Ontario individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.
There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification 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 recovery plan for recovering addicts.
