Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Colorado Springs, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Colorado Springs clients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center would ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another 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 rehab program for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
