Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in St. Martins patients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and probably given certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center will minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to go to an actual substance abuse treatment center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
