Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Breckenridge, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Breckenridge individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may require intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
