Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Dickinson individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and probably given certain prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox facility will minimize health risks.
There is not an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery center once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
