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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Gateway clients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. a person suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription drugs which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
