Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Birmingham patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.
There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
