Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Atlanta clients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would keep them safe.
There isn't an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different person may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
