Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Empire, CO.

In an inpatient detoxification setting in Empire individuals are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably administered certain medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility can ensure their safety.
