While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Georgetown clients can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that could bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and likely given certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete.
