Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Pittsburg patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely administered certain medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detoxification is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
