Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Amherst, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Amherst clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery facility once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
