Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Burlington, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Burlington clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
