Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Elko patients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely given specific medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility would minimize health risks.
There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
