Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Guernsey individuals can be closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.
There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is otherwise in good health may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another 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 attend an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
