Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Douglas clients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and possibly administered specific medications which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility can ensure their safety.
There is not an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
