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

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Nederland individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription medications that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need comprehensive oversight and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
