Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Mora patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly given specific medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.
There is not an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
