Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Punta Gorda patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact process for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
