Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Pueblo, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Pueblo individuals are closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and probably administered specific prescription medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each individual presents when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to treatment for clients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
