Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Englewood, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Englewood individuals can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs which works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact practice for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may require intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Many detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
