Inpatient detoxification is suggested when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Sentinel clients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility can ensure their safety.
There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual substance abuse rehab center once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
