Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in St. Petersburg clients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more severe cases. an individual with alcoholism for instance may need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription drugs which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.
There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
