Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Henderson, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Henderson clients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably given certain medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
