Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Memphis patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. an individual with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and likely given specific prescription drugs that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center would ensure their safety.
There isn't an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
