Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Iowa City clients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.
There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
