Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Portland clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and probably given specific prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.
There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
