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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Kim patients can be closely observed for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could bring about health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance would need to be watched closely and likely given certain prescription medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact practice for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall recovery plan for people in recovery.
