Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Wathena patients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably given certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.
There is not an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
