Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Putnam patients are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription drugs that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. A person who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
