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

Inpatient detoxification is essential when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Maybell patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and probably administered specific prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive care and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehab center once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
