Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Homewood clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
