Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Santa Fe clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and likely given certain medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.
There is not an exact practice for each client in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
