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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Hotchkiss clients can be closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and probably given specific prescription medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detox is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
