Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Hesperus, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Hesperus patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. an individual with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly given certain prescription drugs that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
