Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Brule clients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably given certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise 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 to have intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
