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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Erie patients are closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact process for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment center once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate 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 people in recovery.
