In an inpatient detoxification setting in Harrison clients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual suffering with alcoholism for instance may need to be observed closely and probably given specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
