Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Oklahoma City individuals are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and likely administered certain medications which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.
There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detox is complete.
