Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Macdoel patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases.

Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is finished. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
