Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Houston patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription drugs that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.
There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is finished. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
