Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Destin patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility can minimize health risks.
There is not an exact process for each client in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
