Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Fort Pierce patients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility can minimize health risks.
There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive treatment and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
